A little 'French Country'...

 Sharing a sweet French Country tablescape...

 Garden gathered roses in a rustic chippy vase...

 placed on a metal worked and glass plate stand...

 With bird finial...

 Cute, don't you think?

 Can you smell the deliciousness of the roses?

 My grandmother's antique pearls 

 look stunning in this tablescape...

  I love the way they catch the light...

 And add a little class and elegance...

 Placed upon the favourite butterfly table runner...

It brings me joy every time I walk past the table!

You can learn how to sew an easy-to-make table runner by visiting HERE.

I make them all the time, because I adore changing up my tablescapes with new fabrics, and special ones to fit the seasonal decorations.

A Teacup of Pretty!

Today I picked the smallest of posies...

And it looked simply fabulous in my antique china teacup.

 So pretty in fact the camera just clicked...

 and clicked...

 and clicked...

 so that I could share these pretty images with you.

 Sweet alyssum and zinnias in shades of white...

 Pansies...

And mini purple balloon flowers...

In a sweet china teacup displayed on purple ruffled fabric.

Now that's a vignette sure to make you all smile!

Alstroemeria - Princess Lilies...

Sweet princess lilies.

It is a dwarf alstroemeria.

This one is called Louise (zaprilou)

And she is a stunner!  

Alstroemeria has a notorious reputation 

of becoming weedy, 

and being more than just a little bit overpowering in the garden.

But the "Princess Lily" range are simply fabulous

 as they are dwarf in size, 

which is much more suited to the home garden.

The bonus is they have a long flowering season

with a glorious, vibrant colour range...

As well as those endearing whisker markings on the blooms!

The "Princess Lilies" are ideal for growing in containers.

It is incredibly drought-tolerant.

And they are simply perfect for a smaller garden!
